Anybody like to hear others use a Marshall but can't use one themselves?

If you love your music and playing live buying the right sort of ear plugs is essential ,I really cant see the point of fucking your hearing up,after all why screw up your hearing when you know you love playing guitar . Every time you get that whooshing sound after a gig or practice you are doing damage ,still it's everyone choice.

I have custom-made earplugs, but I only need them when I'm very close to the drummer's crash symbols or right next to the PA speakers at a gig. We generally control our volume very well. On larger stages, there's usually a soundman miking everything.

Because I'm not in the Lawrence Welk Band?

Also, you would only hear drums.

Can't tell your highschool-basement-band drummer that it's not a war? ;-)

Even an early 200 watt plexi will sound as sweet if not sweeter than the smoothest blackface Princeton Reverb at bedroom level when played clean at low volumes

Thanks. I've been insisting my 50 watt plexi is by far the best bedroom amp I've ever owned.

Hummers make great soccer-mom-mobiles, too. ;-)

A Marshall is a loud difficult beast to ride...you have to dig in with your fingers and really let it all hang out...loud...you have to manage the beast,or it will manage you:wail ....once you've done that,in company with a loud rock band(preferably your own,with wailing drummer,headpounding bass player,dedicated vocalist...male of course,and all original tunes) and umpteen gigs and rehersals,you will arrive at a plateau that feels comfortable...but only then...at that point, will you start to hear,and improvise on a level you haven't done before on the fly...after that point,you will always bring your Marshall to play with your band,because it will become your sound:2zone

Didn't get the ;-), did ya? Tilt your head to the left and look at it.











Cool, huh? ;-)

Here we go again. Which model are you talking about?

Marshall amps ain't for everybody. I recall seeing James Burton playing thru some Marshall that was provided for him to play thru. He got offstage and said "I hate those amps!"

I agree with Kerry. It depends on what amp. The problem is; most Marshalls out there just aren't very good. The amp company got so huge during the early 70's. For years their line has consisted of so many different cheapo POS amps. Generally thats what you see being played these days. Painful!!!

Now if James Burton had played thru a good plexi JTM45, he may have been happier with a Marshall like that. He probably started out playing a Bassman in the late 50's and there isn't a whole lot of difference between the two.

Oh, cool... so I can say whatever I want if I follow it with a smiley? Sweet.

Or you could just try answering the question instead of acting like a baby. Up to you.

Did I do something to you that I don't remember?

Relax.

Relax.

I'm fine, just wondering what made you so bitchy to begin with. Still haven't answered that drummer question, but no biggie. YOU relax, 'kay? ;-)

 

[LookerBob]

Were you honestly expecting an answer to a question wherein you called my band 'highschool-basement'?

What made you a dick to begin with?

I was jovially responding to the 'I'm not in the Lawrence Welk Band' line, which I actually found pretty funny, so I simply followed up with what I felt was the same harmless haw-haw. But based on your sudden outbursts, it's obvious that you're quite immature and likely rather slow, so perhaps I should have said 'grade-school'? ;-)

Give it up, tough-guy.

I agree that the JTM45 style amp is not that loud. It's only 30 watts. and has a tube rectifier. great compression and sag. Not as loud as my super reverb.

For most gigs I use the 18 watt clone. Many times I'll use the 4x12 and the JTM45 with Yellow Jackets running EL84s. I almost never play that 10 watt there.

I'd really love to have both an 18W Marshall and Fender circuit in one compact amp combo. Actually, there are a few two-amps/one-speaker-cab switchers out there...so putting an 18W head on top of, say, a Deluxe Reverb could be a cool way to go. Hmmmm....possibilities starting to sound inviting.

Eh. Fuck it. Have fun being a douchebag.

Seriously, man...you need to calm down and drop it. We're talking amps here.

 

[LookerBob]

Yes, you need to calm down and drop it.
